Produktbeschreibung

The definitive account of the radical feminist punks and their music: "Exhilarating. . . . The well-documented history Riot Grrrl deserves." - Los Angeles Times Girls to the Frontis the epic, definitive history of the Riot Grrrl movement-the radical feminist punk uprising that exploded into the public eye in the 1990s, altering America's gender landscape forever. Sara Marcus interweaves research, interviews, and her own memories as a Riot Grrrl front-liner in a passionate, sophisticated narrative that brilliantly conveys the story of punk bands like Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, and Heavens to Betsy-as well as successors like Sleater-Kinney, Partyline, and Kathleen Hanna's Le Tigre-and their effect on today's culture. "Compelling . . . Marcus has done a commendable job of telling the little-known history of an important social and cultural movement." - Booklist (starred review) "A fascinating social history. . . .Marcus focuses on the girls in the crowd as much as stars like Bikini Kill." - Rolling Stone "A brash, gutsy chronicle... captures the combustible excitement of this significant if short-lived moment." - Publishers Weekly "Not only a historical rockument of the revolutionary '90s counterculture Riot Grrrl movement . . . but also a rousing inspiration for a new generation of empowered rebel girls to strap on guitars and stick it to The Man."- Vanity Fair "Girls to the Frontis not just a keeper of the flame but brings you to yr own fire." -Kim Gordon Includes photographs
